Shining Force EXA PS2 comments

The world of Shining Force EXA has long been steeped in devastating wars and
oppression. Two bitter nations wage constant war upon each other by summoning
armies of beasts and demons. Now, decades later, neither side has gained any
perceivable advantage over the other, while the world and its people lay ravaged
and devastated by the ceaseless fighting. Players take the role of two
characters in Shining Force EXA; Toma, a warrior who holds the power to wield
the Shining Force, is destined to unite the divided world in which he lives; and
Cyrille, a powerful sorceress who fights to create a better future for her
homeland. Together Toma and Cyrille embark on a quest to bring peace and order
back to their war-ravaged world.

Shining Force EXA debuts an innovative Fortress System by which players
manage the growth, layout, and defense of the Geo Fortress, the player's home
base. As players leave the Geo Fortress to go on missions and quests, they are
kept abreast of events at the fortress. If at anytime the Geo Fortress is
attacked during the quest, players must switch between parties and use members
from the defensive force that were left to protect the fortress from invasion.
The Geo Fortress can evolve during the game to match players' personal style and
tactics.
